Sealing the final home match with a massive clean sweep

The Nebraska Huskers played their final home-court game of the 2023 regular season. The Michigan Wolverines badly struggled against the Huskers as they lost the match with scores of 15-25, 12-25, and 20-25. While Michigan found some breathing room in the final set, they failed to convert the set into a victory. The tweet’s caption carried the emojis of a house and a sweeping broom, indicating a home sweep.
